Last week IBM hosted the Think 2018 conference in Las Vegas which is IBM's flagship conference that combines previous conferences like InterConnect and World of Watson. Below is a list of announcements and news that I, as a developer, like most. (more…)

I've implemented some code that shows how Apache OpenWhisk functions can be developed with Kotlin. The Java code is built via Gradle and put into a Docker image which can be deployed to OpenWhisk cloud providers like the IBM Cloud. (more…)

I've open sourced some code that shows how Apache OpenWhisk functions can be developed with Spring Boot and how the functions, which run in Docker, can be debugged in Eclipse IDEs. (more…)

Serverless platforms like Apache OpenWhisk are gaining more and more traction. Rather than building only single functions, developers are starting to develop cloud-native applications with many serverless functions/microservices. (more…)

I've open sourced some sample code that shows how to deploy Angular, React and Vue web applications to Kubernetes on the IBM Cloud. (more…)

Many developers want to know whether they should use Serverless or Kubernetes to build cloud-native applications. Both computing options have pros and cons and it depends on your needs which option you should choose. (more…)

Watson Machine Learning can be used by data scientists to create models which can be managed and deployed on the IBM Cloud. Developers can access these models from applications, for example to run predictions. (more…)

Last week I gave a presentation "When to use Serverless? When to use Kubernetes?" One of the weaknesses of Serverless platforms is that you currently cannot do things like A/B testing well since there is no notion of versions. (more…)

One of the coolest capabilities of Apache OpenWhisk is the ability to develop functions with Docker. This allows you to develop functions in languages which are not supported out of the box by the platform. (more…)
